Game Night: Saturday 11-3-2001
The Mansons stayed for an early game, so we grabbed something we already knew. This was an especially good idea, since drinks were already flowing. Jen came in third even though she sat out an entire hand!!! I was last through the first 5 rounds!!!
Wizard Winner Ray 130 - John P. 120 - Jen 100 - Laura 80 - Neal 80 - Ed 60
Take 6
ABORT! We started to play, and got in a good round, then all the players
changed. Egad!
Suzanne suggested the game I can not resist. Ed and I were neck and neck the
entire race. I almost lost it on a sharp right turn, but Ed (and the others)
ran into similar issues with the same turn which allowed me to retain my lead.
We were not aloud the call the passengers "Bitches" (ask Suzanne), but were
allowed "Whores".
Mississippi Queen Winner Ray - Ed - Suzanne - John P - Jen

Game Night: Saturday 11-10-2001
This past weekend brought the Mansons, but they could not stay due to a
condition we call 'non-tired' kids. We aborted EVO (new) when Pat, Jenny, and
Dugger show up!!! We played "Undercover" instead (supports 7 players) and
Secret Agent Pat was as ruthless as ever. But in the end, NO ONE guessed more
than 2 of the 7 identities right, so I all fell back to the agents on the
board. I was last the entire game and ended up third at the end. I think green
and grey won? Jenny? Its hard to remember. The drink of the night was the
zombie.
When Don and Noel showed up, we had 9! So, I took out a new party game called
"werewolf" aka "Mafia". This game is circulating the colleges right now and
requires no purchase. It is a concept game, you simply need a few cards so you
can secret designate the werewolves. Here is the link to the rules:

Anyways, we played this numerous times, there was MUCH shouting and cheering,
and NO ONE KEEP ANY SCORES (the sign of a great party game). Whenever we have 9
or more, we have to try this again...

Game Night: Saturday 11-17-2001
Make your own pizza night was great. Once again, everyone outdid
themselves. Pete & Michelle are to be commended for their tolerance of our
chaos.
Game night started with Cartegna, since Pete and Michelle had never played it.
They caught on fast, especially Pete (who had the first little man in the boat).
I this particular game, there was a mad rush to get pieces started. The early
parts of the board were crowded and there were some long jumps (a bottle of
grog!) Michelle got 2 pirates (aggggh) trapped at the back of the board and
got hosed. I was the last to get a pirate (arrrrrrrgh) into the boat, but the
first to get in all 5. Steve was maybe 2 cards behind me.
Of course, each week we find that we have to re-explain the popcorn joke to
someone. This week it was Suzanne. (The joke is the popcorn container with the
'hole' cut in the bottom). This time, the reference was to using your own
popcorn.
person 1 : "That's stupid."
person 2: -"Unless he really likes popcorn."
Lastly, we played Rage. Michelle has trick taking flashbacks which kept her
from finishing out of the basement. Pete killed us, even if he took the
controversial 10 point renege penalty. The highlight was watching me take a
trick I did not want with a 2.

Game Night: Saturday 11-24-2001
Despite my understanding that Ed and John could not be wretched
away from DAoC, they showed up right on time!
Tom and Steve sat out the first game playing with the new driving simulator,
while I explained the rules of Das Amulet to Jeanette. Although I thought I may
be rambling, Jeanette assured me that she was a very bright person and to just
keep explaining. I was worried that I did a bad job as she was in last after 3
turns. I jumped to an early lead, but like in Medici, I overspent my way and
never gained another jem after turn two. Patience is the key to this resource
game.
Das Amulett Winner John P. 7 - Suzanne 6 - Jeannette 5 - Ed 3 - Ray 3 - Jen 2
I wanted a game to start quickly, so I grabbed one I knew Tom knew and liked. I got a great jump by using the 'gun line' straight to the boat!
Cartagena Winner Ray 6 - Steve 3 - John P. 1 - Tom 1 - Ed 0
I was beating everyone until the last hand. Argh!!!!
Zero Winner Jen 18 - Ray 19 - Suzanne 22 - John P. 26 - Ed 27
John boned Ed with his 'I have two 4's ploy'. Ed didn't stand a chance.
Liars Dice Winner John P. - Ed - Suzanne - Steve - Ray
Please note that John won TWO games, and can no longer moan about 'never winning anything'.
